Working for me. Came up after I closed the page and reopened my google mail. However, it says some functions may not work while this is on. Plus it is has a constant blinking caution triangle. Note-When viewing on a mobile device, and seeing it without clicking on it-will show unread.

It is not working. The button to turn on or off receipts never came after installation of the extension, is there any other way?

I had just recently installed extension turn off receipts on Google Chat and I don't see anything from me to know it is working. If it can be fixed or updated I'd appreciate it.

It was initially not working on Chromebook. I informed the developer and he released a quick fix, now it's perfectly working.

Doesn't work. I have it installed, and when I read a message it still shows as being read. In Google Email the chat button is there, but there's no switch to turn it off and on
